Wait, the parking lot for the mall was on the roof.. Would love to see this succeed.

Interesting. But damn rent must be hell if those are going for $1000 a month.

What if one of them catches fire? It looks like it would be difficult for the fire department to get up there.

Rooftop greenery looks nice in the drawings but they are high maintenance. We just had the two trees in our rooftop courtyard removed before the roots start doing damage. The grass is in pretty poor shape, the soil is poor and it doesnt get any water, so its mostly brown and dead in the summer. The weeds grow much stronger than the grass does.

Skill issue! I’ve seen pretty nice rooftop gardens with good soil and automated watering.

That's where condos/apartments should be built.

Imagine the septic system for that!

In Prince Albert? Ooooh bet those will be nice in five years.

the rendering in the article shows 50 homes though. 10x on that roof would be a little cramped…
